World Book, letter “H”. Homelessness Homeless people often live in abandoned areas, cheap motels, bus stations and mostly on the streets. People living homeless are isolated and live without social ties to family or community life. Homelessness is usually caused by unemployment, shortage of money, alcohol abuse or family difficulties. (Questions 4 and 5) by Lauren and Richard

Questions:

1) After your daughter, Jeannette, had burned herself quite severely after standing too close to boiling water, she was three years old. Do you feel guilty at all that you left her cooking hotdogs all by herself at that age? Also, do you think that you supervised your children enough? 2) When Jeanette began first grade in Blythe, a few days into school she got beat up by four Mexican girls. You saw her come home with a busted lip and scrapes all over her body. You encouraged her to fight them the next time she encountered them. When you look back on this situation, do you think that it was a wise decision? 3) At times when you were out of control, you often fought with your wife, sometimes in front of your children. When the fights got severely and physically out of control, did it ever hit you that you would might have gotten a divorced? 4) Being experienced as a homeless man, are you offended when strangers or organizations offer you money, support or help? 5) Do you think that the causes of you becoming homeless were your alcohol dependency, your unemployment, shortage of cash and disputes with your wife? 6) When arguing severely, with your wife in front of your young ones, did you, or do you, think that it has affected the way your children act with people they are close with?
